Once they've laid their new pitch, how long will it be before it starts to show signs of rust?

The complete frothing from them about their academy, Celtic take all the best youngsters in this country, that is fact and even if Hearts do get one or two it’s not as if our national team is like Spain. One every wee while there will be quite decent one. I’m still convinced we have a much better young midfielder than Cochrane too, we just don’t have to blood him in regularly at that age because we have an actual midfield.
Out of interest, how did they manage to get Cochrane and Macdonald topped up from the SFA performance School when they aren’t from Edinburgh? And is there any Hibs players going To any of the schools assisted by them? Seems a bit like Potter is getting some of the perks of being a former employee?

In all seriousness - £100 a season - thats a pie and a bovril every home game. Robbing Jambos, never change.

Is Jim Clydesdale growing the grass, and (Leicester City style) trimming a design into the grass?
He's not qualified to do either of these things as far as I know.
But when has that stopped him in the past....

Thanks for the insightful info.
Don't know how many pages this thread still has to run (pass the popcorn) but it would be useful to keep score on the expenditure although it will take years to tot it all up.
I take it the steelwork painting will come under 'Repairs and Maintenance' and not capital expenditure so it will take quite a sharp cookie to keep score of the eventual overall cost.
We certainly won't get the information in the form of an official statement, methinks.

Budge buzzing about getting to a QF
Her writing style is absolutely horrific. Constantly putting "words" in inverted....commas...etc
Also seemed to acknowledge that some snow damage did happen.
This main stand will take longer to complete than Spurs new stadium!

Big Team achievement that.

So much for having 'all' the finances in place for this single tiered thingy!! This latest statement has showed what an utter shambles it has been since raising that girder! The beLIEvers are totally deluded if they think 'allisbarry' down Tiny way with another 'gie iz your money' again plain and clear to see!!
Spend spend spend is what I say!!

I popped over the road to see the reaction to the Budge statement. They never fail to amaze me, they are overjoyed, euphoric and beside themselves with love and admiration for all that the good doctor has done for them.
One of them admitted to crying tears of happiness when he read her 3rd form essay, he actually cried. Let that sink in...a grown man cried whilst reading a statement which explained painting rust on a new stand was normal.
A (nother) declared the quater final defeat to Motherwell as a great leap forward in their plans for bottom 6 domination.
It would appear that they have an anti critical filter on their forum, there is not a single dissenting voice, the rust, the toilets,(the men now use the womans toilets in the new stand and the women presumably sit cross legged) the lack of corporate facilities, the 16 year old laddies getting slaughtered every week, the altered time frame for project completion, the hybrid pitch not being a hybrid pitch anymore, it is just ignored as they give praise to her open and transparent policy of informing them that everything in the garden is rosey.
I found it disturbing in the same way I find Rangers fans forums disturbing, the complete lack of critical analysis and blind faith in the words uttered by their leaders regardless of the obvious failings of these leaders.

Every day that passes sees Hearts become more and more like the shambolic entity that was Hibs a few years ago.
My biggest criticism of Hibs at that time was that all our ‘marketing’ was just about money, no ambition, no goals but just give us your money or else bad things might happen. That’s essentially what Budge says in her several paragraphs of waffle. Add to that a belief that everything will be better next year and a persistence with repeating the same mistakes again and again and you have a recipe for failure.
Hibs learned from it eventually and we are in a better place now; Hearts seem to be caught in the cycle of transition, January overhauls and expectation rapidly being revised downwards. It’s very enjoyable to watch.
The brass neck of folk on JKB who suggested our early ST sales, which isn’t any earlier than it has been for a decade, was a sign of impending doom now hailing Budge a genius and saviour for openly admitting they have to launch their campaign earlier than usual to manage cash flow is more than a little amusing.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017.

I like the idea of The Heritage Tour. Haymarket obviously, Gardner Crescent where the memorial moved to and then? Morrison St. The famous pub owned by record medal holder Gary Mc was near here. Distillery. Here's the site that gives our club that unique smell and may blow up at any minute.. Longstone bus depot. Where you can see loads of maroon buses. Saughton Park, em we've not told you about our plans yet... Then a free trip to the club museum. We now exhibit the calor gas fire that heated the JR Lounge, Mr Romanovs fax machine and the stair rod we are blaming for nearly killing Robbo. £50 a pop...

An interesting aside to the early plea for cash via early ST sales at Tynie.
We have a very generous 11 month interest free payment period with Zebra Finance. Not quite the same at Tynie. This, lifted straight from their marketing bumph.....
4) Spread the cost of your season ticket through Zebra Finance. Two plans are available: (i) Through a four-month interest free plan (a 4.5% admin fee applies, taken with your first payment), or (ii): through a ten-month interest bearing plan. Applications can only be filled out at https://www.eticketing.co.uk/heartof...n/default.aspx
Maybe I’m reading too much into it but does this tell us something about their credit situation (cant or won’t absorb the interest fully) or are they just extracting more cash from the poor old Gorgie followers?

For a taster of their reactions, have a look at the half-time scenes from the last derby with the scarf-twirlers ecstatic at going in at 0-0 !

A commemorate wall poster with all the creditors stuffed in Hearts’ insolvency event?
Waxworks of Wallace Mercer, Chris Robinson and Vladimir Romanov? Add in their celebrity fans, or rather celebrity fan: Ronnie Corbett?
A frayed and faded ‘22 in-a-row’ banner to remind them of the ‘good old days’?
